Mexican Independence

I hear lots of fireworks,A lot of yelling, a lot of musicMariachi musicRanchera musicThe sound of the bell at 12:00The president says:Long live the children heroesLong live Benito JuarezLong live Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.

I smell ponchePozoleTamalesTostadasChilaquilesThe smell of the enchiladasThe smell of the fireworksAnd a lot more things

I see the people happyPeople with their Mexican flagsPeople with their charro hatsWith the Mexican flagI see how the queen is crownAnd the princessesI see lots of Mexican dances
